Shoulder Pain Physical Therapy in Korea Town, Los Angeles
Don't let shoulder pain keep you from living the active life you deserve. Whether you're dealing with rotator cuff injuries, impingement, frozen shoulder, or chronic discomfort, our Doctors of Physical Therapy in Korea Town provide personalized, root-cause solutions—not temporary fixes. We analyze your movement from head to toe to get you back to doing what you love, pain-free.
Why Shoulder Pain Doesn't Just Go Away on Its Own
Ignoring shoulder pain or settling for temporary relief can lead to bigger problems down the road. Here's what many people experience before finding real solutions:
You Deserve Better Than Temporary Fixes
-
You've Tried Everything, But Nothing Works
Massages, foam rolling, and generic stretches might feel good in the moment, but if the pain keeps coming back, you're not addressing the root cause. Shoulder pain often stems from imbalances elsewhere in your body.
-
You're Stuck in the Insurance PT Cycle
Insurance-based clinics rush you through 15-minute sessions, juggle multiple patients at once, and focus on billing units—not outcomes. You deserve better than being handed a printout of exercises and sent on your way.
-
You're Losing Strength and Mobility
The longer you wait, the more your body compensates. What starts as shoulder discomfort can turn into neck pain, upper back tightness, or limited range of motion that affects everything from lifting weights to reaching overhead.
How We Address Shoulder Pain at the Source
At Hyena Rehab, we don't just treat the site of your symptoms—we identify the root cause. Shoulder pain rarely starts at the shoulder. It's often a result of postural dysfunction, poor scapular mechanics, or imbalances elsewhere in your kinetic chain.
Our Doctors of Physical Therapy provide 55-minute, one-on-one sessions designed to:
✔ Analyze your movement patterns from head to toe
✔ Restore proper shoulder mechanics and scapular stability
✔ Strengthen weak links and improve mobility where it matters
✔ Train your body to move efficiently so pain doesn't return
We're an out-of-network practice, which means insurance providers don't dictate your care. You get our full attention—no double-booking, no rushing, no fluff.
"I had been a competitive latin dancer for many years until I started to develop chronic back and knee pain. The last 3 years it had become so bad I eventually had to stop dancing altogether. My life became unbalanced without my form of creative outlet, I was depressed, and started to become weaker overall. I tried acupuncture, chiropractor care, lasers, platelet injections, other PT trainers, and even went through electrocution trying Arpwave. Finding people that gave me personal care and attention at Hyena Rehab changed everything. Jeffrey helped me get over my fears and I am NOW doing exercises I never thought I could do before. The story is way too hard for me to capture the emotion I am feeling having my physical life back."

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a referral to see a physical therapist at Hyena Rehab?
No. Direct Access legislation in California allows you to see a physical therapist without visiting your doctor's office first. You can receive physical therapy services for up to 45 calendar days or 12 visits, whichever comes first.
How is Hyena Rehab different from insurance-based physical therapy clinics?
Every 55-minute session is one-on-one with a Doctor of Physical Therapy—no aides, no double-booking, no rushed appointments. We're an out-of-network practice, which means we work for you, not insurance companies. We treat based on what you need, not what a provider will cover. This allows us to deliver the highest quality of care.
Does Hyena Rehab accept insurance?
We're an out-of-network practice that can generate a Superbill for you to submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. We also accept HSA and FSA. This model allows us to focus on effective, individualized treatment without insurance companies dictating care.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your first visit is a comprehensive $99 evaluation. We'll analyze your movement from head to toe to identify the root cause of your symptoms. We test how your body moves in real life—not just on a table. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's causing your pain and a customized treatment plan based on your specific goals.
How much does physical therapy cost?
Initial Evaluation: $99 (56% off). Individual 55-minute sessions: $225. Discounted care plans available: 6 sessions at $205 each, 11 sessions at $185 each (or $175 special offer), and 24 sessions at $165 each. You can submit a Superbill to your insurance for potential reimbursement.
Can you help with chronic pain I've had for years?
Yes. Even if you've had pain for several years and your doctor recommends surgery, that doesn't mean your issues cannot be addressed conservatively. We specialize in treating chronic pain by addressing root causes, not just managing symptoms. Many clients find lasting relief after trying everything else.
Still Have Questions?
Don't settle for temporary fixes. Let's find what's actually causing your pain and fix it for good.
